Marriage is supposed to be a partnership, a sharing thing. Nobody should be held accountable if the money brought into the household is not enough. Unless someone is spending money and non-essential items and it is hurting the family, then some blame can be assigned.
If you are not making it financially cut back on expenses and budget better. And never fight in front of the child.

Well here's my take on the situation....Right now my fiance and I own a condo together. Right now we both work full-time jobs. As of March of next year we will be married and living together. My fiance now pays all of his bills on his own including the mortgage because he has the means to. In the same token I do not wish to live in the condo forever and want to buy a larger home someday. If need be I am working and will contribute to the income and pay bills. For us it is not a man verses wife thing it is just the way it is since he is on his own now and is able to do so therfore he does it (just that simple). It by no means indicates that I contribute any less. I purchase the furniture, groceries, household upkeep, and someday we plan on having children. I feel it is all about teamwork if any aspect of a marriage/relationship is viewed as him verses her this is not a desireable senario for the longevity of that given relationship. Finances is so often the demise of too many relationships and if either party cannot come to terms with the other than often they are not meant to be together. Both persons should be working and bringing money to the table as a team towards a comon goal. If one brings more then the other then it does not matter if it is the man or women. If either one or both indibiduals aren't making enough money then that's another issue entirely, are you spending more than you can afford? I hope these thoughts help. I tried to answer your question as best I could Good Luck!

Don't marry a man whose income is not enough to support his wife and children. As simple as that.

In today's world, both men and women are equal and have equal rights and responsibilities. So, be realistic and act accordingly.
